When & Why to Use Calcium Silicate Insulation for Pipe Hangers and Supports

Calcium silicate insulation is crucial for industrial piping, especially at pipe supports. It offers exceptional load-bearing strength, high temperature resistance (up to 1,200°F), and moisture resistance. Ideal for demanding environments, cal-sil prevents insulation crushing, maintains thermal performance, and ensures long-term system reliability, safety, and reduced maintenance in critical applications like refineries and power plants.

ASTM A350 Low Temperature Carbon Steel and Its Material Grades

ASTM A350 specifies carbon and low-alloy steel forgings for low-temperature service, guaranteeing toughness and ductility in sub-zero environments. Essential for piping, pressure vessels, and fittings, grades like LF2 (common cold service) and LF5/LF9 (cryogenic applications) ensure reliable performance. Choosing the correct A350 grade is vital for safety.
